\section{Cost Analysis}
\label{sec:cost}
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{lrrr}
\toprule
\textbf{Chain} & \textbf{Gas/anchor} & \textbf{Cost (LUX)} & \textbf{Cost (USD)} \\
\midrule
C-Chain & 25,400 & 635 nLUX & \$0.001 \\
Q-Chain & $\approx 0$ & $<1$ nLUX & $<$\$0.000001 \\
\bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\paragraph{Frequency trade-off.}
Anchoring every 5 minutes = 288 anchors/day = \$0.29/day on C-Chain,
essentially free on Q-Chain. Anchoring every 1,000 operations at 100
ops/sec = anchor every 10 seconds = 8,640/day = \$8.64/day on C-Chain.
\paragraph{Recommendation.}
Default to every 5 minutes \emph{and} every 1,000 operations (whichever
comes first). For cost-sensitive deployments, use Q-Chain. For EVM-native
apps already on C-Chain, use C-Chain to avoid cross-chain queries.
